Sometimes the best plans are the ones that include your pet.

Whether it's a movie night on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply enjoying each other's company, those quiet moments often become our favorite memories.

More than half of dogs and cats are considered overweight, and even a few extra pounds can affect their long-term health. Excess weight increases the risk of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, breathing problems, and a shorter lifespan.

If you're concerned about your pet's weight, we're happy to help. Call (318) 442-4222.

You buy the fancy bed. The interactive toys. The expensive cat tree...and somehow the cardboard box is still the biggest hit.

It's true! Dogs have far fewer taste buds than people, but they make up for it with an incredible sense of smell. That's why scent often plays a much bigger role than flavor when they're deciding what to eat.

Pumpkin-flavored treats are everywhere this time of year, but some seasonal ingredients aren't safe for pets.

Nutmeg contains myristicin, which can be toxic when ingested in larger amounts and may cause disorientation, increased heart rate, tremors, or even seizures.

If you think your pet has eaten a large amount of nutmeg or another potentially toxic ingredient, contact us immediately at (318) 442-4222.

Kindness is often shown in the little things. Taking time for a walk, offering a gentle scratch behind the ears, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and loved can speak volumes.

Almost never. Cats don't have accidents to "get back at" their owners.

Instead, they're usually trying to tell us something is wrong. Common causes include:
🚽 Urinary tract infections
🪨 Bladder stones
😿 Stress or anxiety
🦴 Arthritis or pain
🧹 Litter box issues

A cat that repeatedly goes in and out of the litter box, strains to urinate, or produces little to no urine could have a urinary blockage, a life-threatening emergency, especially in male cats. If your cat suddenly stops using the litter box, don't punish them. Schedule a veterinary visit to find the underlying cause.

Cats are actually crepuscular, which means they're naturally most active at dawn and dusk. Those early morning zoomies and evening bursts of energy are completely normal. If your cat is keeping you awake at night, try scheduling interactive play sessions before bedtime followed by a small meal. This can help satisfy their hunting instincts and encourage a longer night's sleep.

"Feed me."

"Move your hand."

"You are sitting in my spot."

That's probably about as close as we'd get. 😸 If your cat could text you, what do you think their very first message would be? Share your funniest answer in the comments!

Have you ever wondered why your cat "makes biscuits" on your lap?

Kneading is a behavior that starts in kittenhood while nursing. As adults, many cats continue to knead when they feel relaxed, safe, and content. Cats also have scent glands in their paw pads, so kneading may help mark familiar people and places as part of their territory.

While not every cat kneads, those that do are usually showing that they're comfortable and trust you.

Does your cat love making biscuits? We'd love to hear about it in the comments!
